Works for me on RH 8.0 (using it to mount VMware drives): >From my automounter config file: vmware_c -fstype=smb,ip=andrey-vm,workgroup=vindigo.com,uid=andrey,gid=users,fmask=755,credentials=/etc/smb.vmware.login ://Andrey-vm/vmware_c Note 'credentials' parameter. It's ugly and has my password in clear text but it doesn't need to be 'world-readable' for the thing to work. Far from ideal solution but may give you some ideas. -- - Andrey ~ In theory, practice and theory are the same, but in practice they are different (Larry McVoy) ~ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
